Another thing I had found in the Highmore homework that had caught my attention was his analysis of the Doing Cooking reading. I felt that he had the exact same reaction to it as we did in class as far as what he thought the author was trying to do and how he perceived the reading overall. Also it made you think about the whole reading a lot more when he went deeper with the overall idea of cooking and really investigated the hidden meaning of cooking.

Routine of Everyday Life
While reading the Highmore homework he comes to a point where he starts to talk about routines of everyday life and how drab and dreary they are. He then goes on to say that though these are that boring once we become accustomed we tend to relax and mistakes start to happen. I found this quite interesting because I feel like this happens in the work place almost daily regardless of which job you have. Whether it be a big mistake like breaking a machine or something as simple and giving customers much more change then they were supposed to get back. Also he talks about these routines mainly in work but I can see this becoming a huge factor in sports as well. A top seeded team goes to face a lower team and gets complacent, and relaxed with their play ultimately losing the game.

I agree that Highmore had the same reaction to Doing Cooking as the class did!
ReplyDeleteI also agree that when we do something that is wrong in our daily routine (such as giving a customer more change than what they should actually be getting back), it creates this disruption that does in a way "break the machine". He refers to routine as being a machine, which in retrospect, it really is.
